A series of laboratory experiments were conducted to determine whether the positive correlation observed in the ambient atmosphere between ozone and temperature could, in part, be due to a temperature dependency of the photochemical smog reaction kinetics. The experiments were conducted using the propene/NO2/air system in General Motors Research Laboratories' dynamic irradiation chamber. Over the range of temperatures investigated, 10°C to 50°C, the maximum observed ozone concentration increased with increasing temperature from 10°C to 40°C. Between 40°C and 50°C there was no further increase in ozone. In contrast, it was observed that the amount of peroxyacetylnitrate formed decreased with increasing temperature. These observations can be attributed to the temperature dependence of the thermal decomposition of peroxyacetylnitrate. At low temperatures, the increased stability of this compound makes it a sink for nitrogen dioxide; conversely, at higher temperatures, peroxyacetylnitrate is too unstable to be an effective sink for nitrogen dioxide. |
